I'm trying not to jinx myself by saying this, but I've been riding my Quando rear hard for well over two years now, year round without any major issues. The lockring came loose once, but the threads weren't stripped. Just tightened it back down and applied locktite.. done. I've had it overhauled twice, but that's not a big deal for something that gets ridden this much, imho.

But, ymmv. I'm going with Formula for the next wheelset.
